Editorial: The Guardian

• The electorate is not obliged to cast ballots for any party and must be convinced by proposals aimed at fixing 14 years of failure.
• Labour risks losing its strongholds when it fails to listen to its supporters or blames them for defections.
• The Tories are being held responsible at ballot box for the decay in urban Britain.
• George Galloway, a stringent critic of Israel, has proved there is power without office.
• Anger is not only among Muslim electors and the Labour party must respond to their concerns regarding the Middle East conflict.
• Labour risks taking Muslim voters' support for granted on the assumption they have nowhere else to go.
• In a change election, Labour needs to earn votes by making a case for inspiring and transformational change.

Conclusion: A shift in the political stance of the Labour party must occur. This change should be geared toward listening more to their supporters and taking a clear and moral stand against Israel's actions. Furthermore, they should present a clear and distinct policy that addresses their voters' concerns about conflicts in the Middle East.
